"There is a purpose, a plan, and a reason for all things. What doesn't make sense, will make sense. You are exactly where you should be; your challenges are what they should be; your rewards are what they should be; and the best is yet to come." - The Universe"The world comes to us in an endless stream of puzzle pieces that we would like to think all fit together somehow, but that in fact never do." - Robert M. Pirsig (b. 1928), Author"In order to arrive at what you do not know, You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. In order to possess what you do not possess, You must go by the way of dispossession. In order to arrive at what you are not, You must go through the way in which you are not." - T.S. Eliot, 'East Coker'"To be yourself is an achievement in itself." - Anonymous"Given an equal amount of intelligence, timidity will cause a thousand times more problems than audacity." - Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831)
